How to use an animated cursor to your application

Answer:

Using animated cursors in your application is very easy.

Here's an example:

mycursor.ani is an animated cursor file. You can create those with Microsoft's aniedit.exe

const
  crMyCursor = 1;

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  // Load the cursor. Needs to be done only once
  Screen.Cursors[crMyCursor] := LoadCursorFromFile('c:\mystuff\mycursor.ani');
  // Use the cursor with this form
  Cursor := crMyCursor;
end;
